GB Election Commission reserves ruling on complaints in seven constituencies

The Election Commission of Gilgit-Baltistan has held hearings into election objections and petitions of seven constituencies and reserved the verdict.

Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Election Commissioner Raja Shahbaz listened to the petitions against electoral objections and vote recount requests of the seven constituencies before reserving the verdict.

Officials said the Election Commission has kept its verdict in abeyance and it is likely to be announced today.

The Election Commission had kept the results of seven constituencies on hold after unofficial and non-final results were revealed – a point worth emphasising – following the elections held on June 7.

In GBA-15 Diamer I, independent candidate Muhammad Dilpazeer was declared winner while PPP candidate Zulfiqar Ali Murad won the seat in GBA-5 Nagar I.

The final scenario of these constituencies will be known after the reserved judgement of the Election Commission.
